Meet Poppy

A LITTLE LOVE BUG:  Approx. 8 years old / Approx. 9 lbs.  Hi, my name is Poppy!  Mostly Mutts rescued me from animal control, and I am so grateful!  I have been spending time in a wonderful foster home and soaking up all the love and attention all dogs deserve.  Now it’s time for me to find a loving home of my very own.  I hope you will plan to meet me soon and see if I’m the new furry family member you have been looking for to complete your family!  • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I’m good with dogs in my foster home, because we all just mind our own business - lol. I don’t really interact or play with them – we just sniff each other and go on about our day. I’ve gone to a friend’s house, and they had a small dog that was very playful … and I was not a huge fan of that, but I did pretty well.  If you have a dog that’s not looking for a playmate, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I like the 9-year-old boy who visits my foster home – he is my buddy, so if you have gentle children that age or older, let’s meet.  I was not a fan of a 3-year-old I met – not in an aggressive way at all, I just didn’t want to be with them, so no younger kids please.  • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  My foster describes me as ‘a very easy dog’ who is a wonderful ‘lovebug’.  I am very much a lap dog and am super social with my people.  I just want to be where they are because – after all – if I’m not with them – I may miss out on attention – which I love! I’m loving and cuddly – ready to be your best snuggle companion!  I’ll follow you everywhere and have a bit of a clingy nature. / My energy level is 3-5. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I don’t know any commands just yet, though my foster is working with me on the ‘sit’ command.  I bet you can teach me some great doggie commands! / I don’t like being in the crate. I protest with crying, though I’ve gotten better about not having accidents in there.  It still happens, but I am improving.  Due to my crying though, I should not live in an apartment/condo-type home. / My potty habits in my foster home are improving, though I am still having accidents.  Positive reinforcement and a frequent and consistent let-out schedule are key to mastering my potty skills, so I need you to help me with that.  • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I LOVE being loved on and love being on a lap.  I’m at my happiest, in fact, in a comfy lap.  Additionally, I love to be carried anywhere you go, and – those belly rubs? They are the BEST!  Sleeping under blankets also makes me happy. / Brrr … I don’t like cold weather or that pesky crate.  Also, I either can’t or am afraid to go up and down the stairs in the home, so please carry me.  I can, however, go up and down the 3 stairs to the outside. Otherwise, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, and training. • MEDICAL:  I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I have a luxating patella – which is not unusual for small dogs like me.  I take a Cosequin chew daily to help keep my joints healthy.  I’ve also just had a dental cleaning and had a lot of teeth removed due to dental disease, so I don’t have many left, but my mouth sure feels better! I am looking for my special family to love me for life!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
